At the recent MARKETING-INTERACTIVE PR Awards 2023, Endowus took home the GOLD award for "Best PR Campaign" under the Banking/Financial services category! 🏆 We are thrilled to be honoured alongside fellow esteemed industry players, including Singlife, American Express, Sun Life Malaysia, and Timo Digital Bank.

This award recognises our efforts in driving insights-driven discussions and the exchange of ideas on powerful trends that will transform the wealth business, and the growth opportunities for both incumbents and WealthTech players to capture.

Conceptualised and fully executed by Endowus for the wider wealth management industry, the campaign culminated in two firsts in Singapore — the inaugural Endowus WealthTech Conference and the Endowus WealthTech Report — which cemented our position as an industry force to be reckoned with.

Last week, we launched Endowus in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 — bringing the very first independent, conflict-free advisory model to the territory.

The launch event was a smashing success with many industry veterans in attendance. Thank you to our speakers KC Chan, WeLab Bank, Vincent Chui, Morgan Stanley, and Helen Zhu, NF Trinity for the insightful panel, and The Great Room for the stunning venue.

The success of Endowus Hong Kong was only made possible with the dedication and support of our 100+ strong Endowus team. From the Hong Kong team who saw through the entire planning, execution, and delivery, the investment office and operations team who worked tirelessly to bring best-in-class funds onto our platform, to the product, tech, and engineering teams who completely rebuilt our onboarding flows, rewrote the Web App from ground up, reimagined the experience, and many more.

And as we look to our future and how far we’ve come today, we can’t help but think that the best is yet to come.

Endowus VP of Engineering, Deepak Sarda, was invited to give a lightning talk ⚡ at AWS Summit 2023. What an incredible turnout from the wider tech industry!

Endowus launched our digital wealth management services in Hong Kong just last week, and our entire business infrastructure for this launch was built on Amazon Web Services from day one. Deepak shared how Endowus has laid a strong foundation for our growth in HK with a focus on scalability, security, reliability, and compliance – while being able to replicate this setup quickly in other regions down the line.

With AWS, Endowus is working with the right partner to support our expansion into new markets, both now and into the future. This will allow us to build Endowus as a WealthTech business that will last generations, and champion industry-first best practices to lower cost and improve outcomes for all investors across Asia.
